<p>EU Exit is an all-of-government operation. The Department for International Development
is doing detailed work with departments to prepare for Exit by understanding the risks
and opportunities of leaving the EU and coordinating planning. Staff within the Europe
and Trade for Development teams lead on providing advice to Ministers on EU Exit and
exit-related issues. Members of staff across the Department also provide advice and
analysis on EU Exit issues as required. Given the interactions between EU exit work
and the Department’s other priorities, it would not be possible to give an accurate
estimate of the time and resources that have been allocated to the production of impact
assessments on the UK leaving the EU.</p><p>Impact Assessments are typically related
to specific new primary legislation before Parliament and are narrowly defined. Civil
servants conduct any Impact Assessments related to legislation as business as usual.
The Government laid an impact assessment alongside the European Union (Withdrawal)
Bill, which can be found on our website. Our broader analysis continues.</p>
